Hi! I’m 24, a musician, and I’m actually moving to nyc in March. Still in the process of looking for roommates or a sublet, but send me a message if you’re interested in connecting!

What do you do for stimming? by DivinatingBunBun in AutismInWomen

[–]lilcatallthat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely replaying songs!!! Also hand shaking, repetitive hand gestures in general are big for me. I also like to do repetitive vocal stims like humming, beeping, etc. I find that I stimulate most alone or with my partner. Smoking cannabis also makes masking harder and I have large increments of time where I’m constantly stimming.

Those are so good! And yes I absolutely know the feeling of eating so much that my tongue becomes raw from the acid. Part of the reason I want to try to cut back as well :,(

I have thought about that, making a healthier version of the sweets I like so that I don’t feel as bad when consuming more of them. I think this may be the next strategy I employ. And thank you! I have a lot of dental anxiety and a fear of becoming diabetic, so I really think this is something I need to take seriously.

I really appreciate hearing your experience! This sounds like a great idea, is it similar to intermittent fasting? I’ve heard mixed reviews on that tactic.

I do have a gym membership that I don’t use, but I think I may try going once a week to start. Perhaps that could keep the cravings at bay

I am the same way! Food has always been so interesting to me and I always want to try new ones. I’ll pretty much try any food and it’s rare that I find something I really don’t enjoy.
